Chapter 17

sorry for not updating for a while <3

I desperately held my phone and checked the time again,

04:15 pm

I didn't know if I should worry about him or about myself,

I didn't have any strength to even talk,

Heejo asked Tae's father about him but he, too, was worried, my father didn't visit my room again, the guests kept asking about us, Chanyeol wasn't answering his phone and Taehyung .......didn't care to even send a text to reassure me,

If something bad had happened, his father wouldn't be here,

If nothing bad had happened, he should've contacted me by now,

What was it then ? why isn't he here ? why isn't he answering his phone ?

But what's making me more worried, is that I'm calm, I'm quiet, I'm not panicking and I'm feeling a very strange peacefulness,

The door opened and I saw a pale-faced Heejo entering my room, then Chanyeol followed her,

I won't lie, my heart dropped to my stomach and I waited for Taehyung to follow them but no one did,

They walked to me and sat beside me on the bed, each one on a side,

Their silence made me think of the worst ever possibilities,

"where's Tae ?" I asked Chanyeol calmly but I swear, my heartbeats could be heard from a million miles far,

"where's Tae ?" I raised my voice a little to make him look at me,

He slowly turned his head to me and when our eyes met, he slowly held my hands,

"y/n, listen ....." he paused, "I'm sorry we didn't answer your calls- "

"just tell her already ! you two have been playing with her for too long !!" Heejo suddenly spoke and stood up angrily,

"Heejo please" he tried to calm her down,

"ARE YOU GOING TO TELL ME WHAT'S GOING ON ?!!" I stood up too and looked at them both,

They kept an eye contact with each other then looked back at me,

"Taehyung .....Taehyung-g cancelled the marriage ...."

At first, I was about to go crazy when he said his name, I thought something happened to him but as he continues, I felt as if my whole body stopped functioning,

He clearly wasn't joking, even though I was hoping he was,

I held in my breath, my heart didn't seem it was beating and my brain stopped reasoning,

Heejo carefully held my arm and called my name but I couldn't hear it well, as if she was so far from me,

I knew it,

Something wasn't right, I felt it,

And if he decided not marry me, he probably has a reason, he wouldn't simply do that to me,

I tried to breathe in again when I felt my finger tips getting numb and my knees shaking,

Heejo made me sit on the bed and went to get me a cup of water,

"where is he ?" I asked so weakly that it came out as a whisper,

He kept quiet then kneed in front of me,

"why didn't he tell me this by himself ?" I sounded quiet and not even a tear dropped from my eyes,

Maybe ..... I just had a little hope that he will come into the room and say it was a joke,

"he ..... said everything was rushed up and .... he felt like he wasn't ready- "

"but he w-wanted to do this ... he told me that" my voice cracked as I hardly spoke,

Tears started rolling down my cheeks,

Am I dreaming ?

If I am, please wake me up,

Taehyung would never do that to me, he wouldn't hurt me like this,

"I'm sorry y/n ...."

"he doesn't even want to see me ?" I asked him and cried quietly,

Chanyeol didn't say anything,

Is this for real ? Taehyung left me ..... the day of our wedding ?

(author's P.O.V)

You kept your head hung like a dying flower and cried,

You weren't the type of person who would be mad and stormy, you were rather hurt and disappointed,

The happiness you were dreaming of flew away in one second, your dreams and goals disappeared with one word from him, the one you chose to be with for the rest of your life,

Chanyeol kept apologizing but it was for no use, so when Heejo came back, she asked him to leave and he soon did without saying anything more about Taehyung,

Your guests and Mr Kim left as well and you were left alone again with Heejo in your room,

Strangely, your father didn't talk to you, as if he was avoiding you,

***********

It was night already and you were still on your bed hugging Heejo, silently staring at nowhere and thinking of reasons to justify what Taehyung did,

You slowly and tiredly pulled away from her and she took the opportunity to cup your face and softly ask you if you needed something,

You paused and looked down to your dress,

You stared at it and couldn't help but think 'he didn't even see it'

"he didn't see my dress ..." you softly said and Heejo's eyes saddened,

"he would've liked it right ?" you looked at her innocently as she kept speechless,

You went quiet again as you were drown in your deep thoughts,

The pain was so sudden that it hacked your whole body at once and left your heart crushed into small flecks of dust,

Tears dried on your cheeks, barely able to keep your eyes open, you started taking off your dress,

Heejo unzipped the back and as the dress started sliding off your shoulders, it felt like part of your body was being taken away from you,

'nothing is left for me now'
